Epic Pass holders who want to redeem these discounted tickets for their friends can now do so online, rather than waiting on line at the resort ticket window.

Outside of Europe and Japan, the biggest changes this year arguably come with the redemption of Buddy and Ski with a Friend tickets. The full Epic Pass will also add 5 days at Rusutsu Resort, Japan-marking its first offering in that country. The pass suite will add Crans-Montana, Switzerland, subject to its acquisition by Vail Resorts, with unlimited access on the full Epic Pass and 5 days of access on the Epic Local Pass. However, a few additions have occurred overseas. The “32 Resorts” tier, which excludes high-caliber destinations such as Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Park City, and Whistler, starts at $73 for a 1-day non-holiday pass, while the base “22 Resorts” tier, which completely excludes all mountains outside New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and the Midwest, starts at just $44.Įpic has not gained or lost any major North American partners for the upcoming winter. The upper “All Resorts” tier starts at $93 for a 1-day non-holiday pass. The Epic Day Pass product, which is essentially a flexible 1-to-7-day lift ticket, will continue to be offered in the same three price tiers as last year-also with an 8% price hike. Regional Epic products, such as the Northeast Value Pass and Tahoe Local Passes, remain available for a lower price these products typically come with more restrictive blackouts than the full Epic and Epic Local Passes. Both products are likely to remain cheaper than their Ikon Pass competitors. The lower-level 2024-25 Epic Local Pass, which contains holiday blackouts and limited access at some resorts, starts at $731-also an 8% increase from last year. The top-of-the-line Epic Pass, which offers unlimited access with no blackouts to all resorts owned by Vail, will start at just $982-an increase of 8%, the same rate hike as last year. Access will remain similar to last year, meaning Epic’s terms will likely continue to undercut its main competitor, the Ikon Pass, although prices have increased across all levels of passes. On Tuesday, Vail Resorts announced its suite of Epic Pass products for the 2024-25 winter season. UPDATE 3/5/24 9:00pm ET: Updated to correct the price for the Epic Local Pass, which was erroneously quoted at last year’s rate.
